The
New Orleans Pelicans reportedly will acquire guard Tyshawn Taylor in a trade
with the Brooklyn Nets.

The
Nets agreed to send Taylor and cash to the Pelicans for a conditional future
draft pick, according to the Yahoo Sports report, which sited unnamed sources.
The report said the trade will be completed on Tuesday.

Taylor,
6 feet 3 and 185 pounds, was a second-round pick in the 2012 draft. In 23 games
this season, he is averaging 3.9 points and 1.6 assists in 11.7 minutes with
the Nets. Taylor is shooting just 34.1 percent from the field and 25 percent
from 3-point range. For his career, Taylor is averaging 2.9 points and 0.9
assists.

Taylor,
a former Kansas standout, is best known for being told by Nets coach Jason Kidd
to bump into the coach during a drink-spilling incident earlier this season. Kidd
was filed $50,000 for the incident.

The
Pelicans could use Taylor to add depth to their backcourt while starting point
guard Jrue Holiday continues to recover from a stress fracture in his tibia.
